was forgotten, or the enmity Of the great
and powerful priesthood, headed By Agonr
appeased. On the contrary, it was burning
the more fiercely because it was necessarily
suppressed: and what had begun in bigotry
was ending in downright direct hatred,
born of jealousy. Hitherto, the priests had
been the wise men Of the land, and were,
on this account, as well as from supersti-
tious causes, looked on with peculiar ven
Grafton. But our arrival with our out
laudish wisdom, and our strange inyen-
tons and hints Of unimagined things, dealt
a serious blow 10 this state of'aifairs, and,
20 use vulgar language, went far towards
upsetting the sacerdotal applicant. a
still worse aTr0nt to them, however, was
the favor with which we were regarded,
and the trust that was reposed in as. All
these things tended 10 make rs excessively
obnoxious 10 the great pricstly clan, the
most powerful because the most united
faction in the kingdom.
Another source Of imminent danger to US
was the rising envy Of some Of the great
lords, headed by Nasta, whose antagonism
10 NJ had ut best been but thnly Yelled.
and which now threatened TO break out
into open flame. Nasta had for some years
been q candidate for Eyleptha's hand IN
marriage, and when we appeared on the
scene. fancy. from all ! could gather, that
though there were still many obstacles IN
his path, success was by no means out of
his reach. But now all this had changed;
the coy Nylcptha smiled no more in his dl-
rcctiuu, aud he was not slow to guess the
cause Infatuated and alarmed, he turned
his attention to SOras, only TO find that ne
migl as well try to WOO m0untain-side.
WiGE n bitter Jest or two about his tickle
ness. the door was closed on him for ever.
50 Nusta bcthought him Of the thirty
thousand Wild SwOrismcn who would pour
down NJ lis bidding through the northern
mountain passes, and, no doubt, vow Ell 20
adorn the gates Of iIilo5is with our heals.
But first he determined, nv we learned,
10 make one more attempt, and To demand
the hand Of Nylrptha in the open court n
Ter the formal annual ceremony Vf the
signing Of the laws that had been pro
claimed by the queens during the year.
OF this astounding fact NyIeptaH heard
